Take Two: GTA IV still on track for Q1 2008

Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick has reaffirmed consumers that the company’s upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV is still on track for a Q1 2008 release, following his earlier comments that the game would not ship until he was “utterly convinced” it was ready.

"I wasn't intending to be newsworthy”, said Zelnick, during a discussion with GameSpot.

“When asked about the release date, I confirmed the previous release date we'd given, which is our second fiscal quarter. That's to say sometime between the beginning of February and the end of April."

The game was previously slated to appear in October 2007, before being pushed back to 2008; however, as mentioned previously, Zelnick feels the delay will do little to impede the titles prospects.

Stay tuned for more developments on Grand Theft Auto IV as they become available.
